  • Publication number: 20220097074
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to setting an operation parameter of a grain milling machine appropriately according to the characteristics of grain targeted for processing. An operation aid apparatus for a grain milling facility including a grain milling machine and a color sorter includes a first acquisition portion configured to acquire first information regarding characteristics of grain that should be processed in the grain milling facility, and a second acquisition portion configured to acquire second information regarding an evaluation of a sorting result acquired by milling first grain by the grain milling machine and sorting them by the color sorter after that. The second information is associated with the first information regarding the first grain.

  • Patent number: 9751086
    Abstract: An abrasive grain-milling unit and a friction grain-milling unit are located on upper and lower portions of a pedestal, respectively. The friction grain-milling unit includes a grain feed trough to which a milled grain discharge trough of the abrasive grain milling unit is connected. A two-way grain feed trough and change-over valve is located above the abrasive grain-milling unit and is capable of selectively feeding grains either directly to the friction grain-milling unit or to the friction grain-milling unit via the abrasive grain-milling unit.

  • Patent number: 9743656
    Abstract: A grain pest control apparatus includes an input unit adapted to accept input of grain; a heating unit adapted to heat the grain supplied from the input unit; and a removal unit adapted to remove heat from the grain heated by the heating unit, wherein the removal unit includes a cylindrical body provided with an air passage hole in a wall surface and adapted to receive the heated grain and a heat collecting chamber installed by surrounding the cylindrical body and connected to an exhaust channel, and removes heat from the heated grain by causing air supplied into the cylindrical body to pass through the air passage hole and escape via the heat collecting chamber.

  • Patent number: 9114400
    Abstract: A grinding type vertical grain milling machine is capable of shortening a dimension of a machine body in the vertical direction and removing bran by evenly suctioning an entire bran removing chamber. The grinding type vertical grain milling machine includes a bran removing metallic mesh cylinder with a main shaft, an integral grinding type grain milling roll body, a bran removing chamber, and a bran discharge pipe that discharges bran to the outside of the machine. A fan-pulley is provided between the bran removing chamber and the bran discharge pipe. The fan-pulley rotationally drives the main shaft to which the grinding type grain milling roll is axially attached and generates a bran removing wind to convey bran produced by the grain milling action of the grinding type grain milling roll from the bran removing chamber toward the bran discharge pipe.
